The Welsh Government has announced extra cash aimed to provide people with safe and secure homes.
Local authorities in Wales are now able to access an additional £40m of funding to help them ensure everyone who was provided with emergency accommodation during the coronavirus pandemic has a clear route to permanent housing.
In March, the Welsh Government announced £10m of funding to provide people facing homelessness with accommodation where they could self-isolate and follow public health advice on how best to protect themselves against COVID-19.
Minister for housing and local government, Julie James, said: ‘The coronavirus has shone a light on housing in a way that few of us have seen before and reminded us all of the fundamental importance of good-quality affordable housing, a safe and secure home and strong and cohesive communities where people want to live and work.
‘I have been clear that I do not wish to see anyone forced to return to the streets.
'We have a unique opportunity to change the services and change lives for the better - and make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeated.
'We want to build on the success we have seen so far and change Wales’ approach to homelessness in the long-term.'
